Friday Finds: The Ankle-Strap

Some of us are blessed with the ability to wear an ankle strap heel. I am not one of those people but I wish I was. Spring 2013 has some of the prettiest ankle strap heels and sandals I have seen in a long time. The trick to wearing the ankle strap is proportions. If you are short in stature or have fuller ankles then a skinny pant, tea length skirt/dress  or a skirt/dress that falls at or below the knee will give you the best silhouette and elongating effect. Also, choose a thin ankle strap as to not chop up your proportions too much. If you are taller, have longer legs, or have dainty ankles, then play around with the heal height and strap width. These shoes were made for your body type! Enjoy!
